1926
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1926 ink by Georges Rouault, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows two faces inside a framed box. The top face has a halo of light behind it, looking calm with closed eyes. Below, another face is hooded, holding a hand to its mouth like it’s in pain. The word *Guerre* (French for "war") is written at the top—this might hint at the mood. The dark lines and shadows make the faces stand out sharply. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark like this.
Georges-Henri Rouault was a French painter, draughtsman, and printmaker, whose work is often associated with Fauvism and Expressionism.
